Cut

I am a film director, Spending time on the set. I use a projector To see if I can perfect The project in hand. But often, all doesn't go as I planned. I search for perfection, Which is difficult to obtain After reflection I alter it and start over again And again. The actors are on ego trips, Dissatisfied with the parts they play. They really should try to come to grips, And listen to what others say. Why should they take note of anyone? When they know it all, It's not until the director shouts CUT! They begin to fall, Cut, no more acting parts No parts of any sort I won't employ ham actors without heart It was the director's last retort. We all need direction, So we can see lour way ahead. And not to expect perfection, But work toward it instead.

Way to rag on those prima donnas, Shirley -- the same people who support BLM, Hamas, AOC, Tlaib and Ilhan.
